Plainly to be Seen Daily in the Hear ings in the License Court. WAR ON HOLDERS OF LICENSES Waged by Those Who Were Befused by Judge White Last Tear. THE END OF TOE AGOXT IN SIGHT One thing developed in the hearing in the License Court is the amount of secret back biting among the applicants themselves. Many of the fellows knocked out a year ago were mad at the Court and jealous of the successful applicants. This year they tried to get even by furnishing evidence against the men who now have license. A strik ing exhibition of this appeared yesterday in the Mifflin township hearings. A host of witnesses called against one man, who has a licensed house, were brought together by the work of some of his rival applicants. In this case, however, the man assailed came out decidedly ahead. In many other cases lawyers say that remonstrances have been worked op, on the quiet, by jealous rivals. Yesterday the Court heard the 67 appli cations from Collier. Forward, Hampton, Harmar, Harrison, Indiana, Lower St. Clair and Mifflin townships. The day's session lasted too long, and the judges were too tired, to make up a list of licenses in the townships last night. The retail applicants will be completed Monday, and the entire work of the License Court will be brought to a close next week. APPEAEED TOO LATE. Attornev C. C. Montooth asked the Court to hear Frank Collins, of Cbartiers town ship, who was not present when called Thursday evening. Judge Ewing refused to hear him, asking why the man was not nrrsent nt the nrorjer time. Mr. Montooth said that his client claimed that an officer of the court had told him that his case would not be called until next Wednesday. "Let him find that officer," said Judge Ewing, "and I will hear him. I would like to know who that officer is." Abel Hale, of the ''Strangers' Home," at Tom's Itun.and Patrick Feeney.at Walker's Mill, in Collier township, were heard. Neither has been licensed under the Brooks law. Mr. Feeney's character was vouched lor by 'Squire Thomas Drennan. Thomas Hulings, the only applicant from Harmar township, keeps a tavern on the Freeport road, at Harmarville. Mr. Hul ings is 65 years old and never drank intoxi cants. The two applicants from Forward town ship are James Jenkins. Jr., and Joseph Voye, both on the highway to Elizabeth. Jenkins' place is near the line of West Elizabeth borough. His father an a speak easy there during the year, served one term in the workhouse for illicit selling and is now out of the county to escape from an indictment The application was opposed by Attorney Xevin, who lives at West Elizabeth. It is probable that both these applications will be refused. TOTED AGAXXST PP.OHIEITIOK. The two Hampton township applicants are John Lunz and William Wahl. Lunz is on the Butler plank road, 11 miles from the city. He keeps the old Boar's Head Inn, a tavern for 40 years. He and Wahl were both opposed by Attorney Swearingen, representing many remonstrants. John McNeil and Benjamin Sample, old residents of the township, commended Lunz and declared his place necessary. They gave their opinion that the morals of the town ship had degenerated since license was re- fused, but the very opposite opinion was tittered by 'Squire James Grubhs, who said that Lunz's place was a nuisance. Grubbs is a Republican and Lunz a Democrat. Wahl's place is at De Haven station. Last June the township voted against prohibition four to one. The 14 applicants from Harrison town shipare all located at Natrona. Moses Dean, a lame man with a very red nose, has not kept his house open for two years. He ap plied for wholesale license also, on the ad vice of Attorney McEeuna. John Felter and Michael Hammer apply jointly for a house which Felter owns. Hammer has been attending bar for Mrs. Kate Felter, Eighth ward, Allegheny. He is a native of Allegheny. Mrs. Minnie Gran keeps a restaurant. She owns Garfield Hall, across an alley from her house. Rone Hengi, an old Swiss, is only 159 teet from the public schoolhouse. John W. Heyer has a large hotel of 24 rooms, and will probably be licensed. George Haegele has kept tavern in Harrison township 29 years, and was licensed in 18S8, Gottlieb Kueh nert works for the Penn Salt Company. Isaac H. Kuhn is only a quarter of a mile from the line of prohibitory Tarentum. Jo seph Manigat was a saloon keeper prior to the incoming of the Brooks law, as was also Henry Stamm, whose house is called the Black Horse Inn. George Snyder is on Cherry street. Henry Smith runs a restaur ant. David Stroup displayed the longest beard yet seen in court. Frank Wolff, Jr., at the corner of Vine and Maple streets, was the last before dinner. WOEK OF THE ArTEEXOOK. After dinner Thomas Hulings, of Har marville, was called again, but he was not present. Indiana township, with its three applicants, was then heard. William Hartz was licensed in 1888. He was returned on a charge of selling more than a quart at once,bnt the return was lost. Philip Thomas, of King & Thomas, appeared alone, W. B. King being sick. They keep a licensed tavern on the Kittanning road, near Sharps burjr. Frank and Michael ShoDcne are on the Kittanning road 3 miles beyond King & Thomas. Lower St. Clair furnished 15 applicants. Jacob Arrand is on Arlington avenue, just outside of the city line. He has been work ing at carpentry since he was refused a J license in 18&S. .Michael Augustine, at No. 49 Brownsville road, is the lather of ten children. William Balmer is on the Beck's Bun road, more than a mile from any other applicant. Joseph Butler's place is on the -west bank of the Monongahela at Redman Mills. There are two licensed houses in the town ship, both on the Brownsville road, one kept by John Franz, and the other by Mrs. Cath erine G. Goldbach. Mr. Christy tried, with out effect, to show that Franz is quarrelsome and threatens to shoot holes through people. Franz said that he did not carry a revolver, but kept one in his house. Fromm and Hoffmann both have resorts on Ormsby ave nue, a quarter of a mile apart F. H. Hampe, who applies for a house at No. 94 Brownsville road, tola the court that his father had a United States liquor license at a house half a mile away, where he bottles beer. The father owns the house for which Fred applies, but tHe latter is married and inbusinecs independently. Herman Mewes, who kept a saloon at the corner of the Brownsville mad and Carbon street in 1887, said that he always discouraged treating in his place. WAeu Judge Ewing asked how much he drank, he replied: "Oh, lam very t cm Derate. Sometimes I do not drink for hours." EXPECTS TO RESUME. Mrs. Margaret J. McGuire is on the river road, three-quarters of a mile below the Baldwin township line. She was licensed in 1888, but Judge White cut her down. She will probably resume on May 1. William Prim, on Ormsby avenue, walks with a crutch. He claimed o have the largest house in that neighborhood. "Iu that case, "said Judge Ewing. "we have had very incorrect statements from the others." 'Peter Schmitt, on Arlington avenue, ac knowledged that he had sold liquor without license during the past year, hut maintained that he had not sold on Sunday. Andrew Stoecklein, on Ormsby avenue at School alley, kept a saloon for 15 vears up to 1888. He said that his house was larger than Prim's. John Schirra, the last from Lower St. Clair, is on Arlington avenue at Spring street There are 18 applicants from Mffltn town ship, four of whom are now. licensed: James Briggs, at New England; Charles Downey, in Huquesne;Tbomas D. Davis, nearLysle's coal works, and William Thorp, at Amity. The unlicensed applicants are: George W. Booth. James Donohue, Patrick J. Howard, John Morris and Seward Oliver, at Du quesne; Fred W. Habermann and Peter Stinner, at Cochran; William J. Coates and William Wisser, Sr., at Dravosburg; James Evans, on the McKeesport road; Thomas Hilton, at New England; John Linn, at Thompson's Run; William Linn, at Moss Side, and John Stinner, at Kisher station. Booth has been running the Duquesne ferry for three years, and has a restaurant Briggs met no opposition. Coates is unused to the liquor business, and has applied for both licenses. HE nAS A TOPEES' LIST. Downey keeps a hotel in Duquesne, right by the corner of the grounds of the Alle gheny Bessemer Steel Company. His ap plication was opposed by B. C. Christy, representing various remonstrants, and C. C. Dickey, representing the steel company. Mr. Downey has just finished a new house. He acknowledged that he had sold to a minor, John Kennedy, who had misrepre sented his age. He lias a list of about 18 topers, to whom he refuses to sell. Downey admitted that he had a fieht with John Gregg. The latter entered his place drunk, and Downey refnsed to sell to him. Gregg called Downey hard names and threw a glass of pop in his face. Then Downey put him out and pounded him, although Downey has but one arm. James Hennessy swore that he and his son were assaulted by Constable William Linn in Downey's place. He and his sou were both drunk and his son is now in the workhouse. John Kennedy, called by the opposition, admitted that he had deceived Downey as to his age. Several other witnesses who were called denied that they knew anything wrong about the place. John Gregg and Nic Williams both re counted the quarrel between them and Downey. "When a man is insulted in his own house," said Judge Ewing, "there is some allowance to be made for him." Dr. Botkin testified that he dressed Gregg's wounds after Downey got through with him. "Do you know the reputation of Mr. Downey's place?" asked Mr. Christy. "It has a good reputation among the tem perance people of Duqesne," answered Dr. Botkin. "Our town has a varied popula tion. There is a class of people there that are very hard to manage, with only one licensed house in the town. I don't think any other man could do better than Mr. Downey has done." DIDN'T NEED WITNESSES. Downey had witnesses on his behalf, but Judgs Ewing said that they were not needed. Donohue is a coal miner by trade, and has recently oDened a restaurant Davis has been keeping the Ten Mile Inn at Moss Side, and is now applying for another house about a mile down the river. Thomas Hulings, of Harmarville, -was re called, and Attorney Yost asked him if his wife did not leave him because of his im morality. That he denied, and said he never knew why his wife left him. She went one day when he was away, and took with her 5900 and two children. Hilton, of New England, was told by Judge Ewing that he did not think there was business there for two houses. Haber man durinc the past year has been townshin road supervisor. Postmaster Howard Black indorsed Haberman. John Linn and Will iam Linn are brothers, William being the township constable during the past year. Two; Crawford brothers testified that John Morris ran a speak-easy during 1888. Oliver belongs to an old family, but James S. Crawford testified that he had bought liquor without a prescription at Morris' drugstore. The other applicants were not contested. 60HE GPEING IMPROVEMENTS. Chief Evani Arrnnslne to Repair the Fire Engine Houses. Chief Evans, of the Fire Bureau, is mak ing arrangements for some extensive im provements in the various engine houses. In speaking of the matter yesterday the Chief said: "At No. 2 engine house we will put in new wood work in different parts of the building and will widen the stalls. We intended to repair engine' house No. 1, but it is too far gone to attempt to repair it The walls are cracked and the floors are rotted out The house will have to be rebuilt. "In No. 3 the floor is rotted out and there is danger of the apparatus falling through. New joists and new floor will have to be put in there. "In No. C and No. 8 there will have to be new cornice work and new windows. Nearly all the wood work in these houses is badly rotted. In No. 8 we will also change the stalls so that the horses cau come out straieht Work on these improvements will be commenced just as soon as possible." TO BUILD A EOUXD-HUUSE. Tho Plttxbnrc nnd Western Gives Oot Half a million for Improvements. The Pittsburg and Western Railroad Company is about to begin work on the erection of their round-house, water tanks, etc., at Millvale. The ground lias been staked out and within the next 10 or 15 days the work will begin. The new yard at that point has greatly facilitated' the handling of cars. The ground along the river hank between Willow Grove and Millvale, about half a mile, which the company purchased months ago, cost it 5202,000. The yard is built on piles in the river and all freight trains are ruade up and broken at that point The im provements ontlined last fall have been al most completed and cost about half a million dollars. Forty miles of steel rails were put down during the fall and winter. The new yard at New Castle will be finished next week. TOUCHED A SOFT POINT. A Discharged Employe Posts iJnconpllnien tary Notices In tho Postofilce. Superintendent of Mails Collins was chasing around police headquarters to find out what would be done with one of his former employes, named Patrick Gilmore. The man had been discharged, and while Mr. Collins was in the East notices were posted up all around the office. One read: "No Irish need apply," and the other: '"None but members of the Junior Order United Amer ican Mechanics are employed here, by order ot Stephen Collins, Superintendent of Mails.." A copy of each of the notices was posted on Mr. Collins' door. It is not decided what will be done with Mr. Gilmore, but Assistant Superintendent O'Mara says Mr. Collins could make out a case of forgery against Gilmore.

An Almost Uncontrollable Impulse Inviting Self-Destrnction. PERILOUS WALKS OVER LAVA BEDS rCOIlRKSrONDENCE OF THE DISFATCH.1 Palermo, Sicily, March 30. There never came to me a sweeter or more perfect sleep than that one upon the rough benches of the half-ruined Casa degli Englesi, on the desolate plateau just beneath the great cone of Etna. Balbino, friend and guide, said he would awaken me betimes and he did. It was a singular ieeling to realize where the night had been spent, as Balbino assured me no one had ever been known to pass an entire night at the weird retreat, and to remember how, if the death-dealing volcano had once hiccoughed in those hours, our Italian and American anatomies would have blended with the fused elements and floated down to the cities and the sea, in after years, to be worked over and sold as lava relics to coming generations of tourists. There was a bright glow within the hnt, and a still more wholesome aroma of cook ing food, for one's appetite is ravenous in these crisp, upper regions. Balbino had brewed a pot ot black coffee, roasted eggs in the ashes beneath, and with our canteens of wine and water, our fowl and bread a com posite of the flour wheat, corn and chestnuts had spread a toothsome repast upon two huge blocks of lava. It was 2 o'clock in the morning when we had finished this, adjust ed our heavy woolen blankets like knotted tunics, and after "banking" the little fire for use on our return, stepped out into the cold and stinging air. "The guides take the straneiro from the Casa to the summit in an hour," said Bal bino. "But that," with a reproachful tone, "ese maledetto. They do that to completely exhaust them and add greater value to their pretentious services. AVe will go, a suo bell' agio, leisurely, like gentlemen, in two. the ninfei (water lilies) are peening from the sky!" TEAMPINO OVER LAVA. By the "water lilies" the poetical Balbino meant the stars. It was dark, very dark, without But the stars were more than shining. They glowed, each like a topaz bead pendant from a canopy of velvet. So near they seemed, the impulse almost came to lift one's staff in effort to touch them. Against the side arc of such a sky the black peak set like a wall of onyx to be crashed against at a step's advance. "See, there is the proof," he shortly added. "There are strangers, guides and torcher lost in the Bosco. The party is try ing to reach Etna for the sunrise. They will not come as far as the Casa." Turning I saw far down the mountain a half dozen flashes like bright fire-flies, now swaying and waving, now lost behind the mazes of oak, chestnut and ilex, and again leaning into view. They added a weird feeling of pursuit, as we pushed on, not without many a stumble and an occasional fall. Before leaving the Casa we had wound thongs of kid-skin about our trousers at the ankles. My companion wore shoes; hut I had a pair of honestly-made American boots, with legs Teaching nearly to the knees, and the soles well filled with stout hob nails, an invaluable aid in climbing Pico in the Azores, a few months before". Balbino had eyed these enviously, while binding a pair of leather leggings around the tops of his shoes. Before we could have crossed the plateau the ashes, grit, and loose scoriae would have cut to the flesh through one's stockings without such protection. Half way across the rock-strewn plain we came upon traces of snow, and soon ice, snow and disintegrated lava in strange piles, where, after the wind had fiercely tossed it about, it had been banked in most fantastic forms. We had trouble in some of these. They were as slippery as shot. We would climb upon our hands and knees over some sharp hump of lava and fail of solid footing on the other side, irequently SLIDING AKD CRUNCHING OUT of our way down startling declivities, only to land waist-deep in some of the shelly pockets, or to be brought up with thnd and thump against some solid lava wall beyond. But in this wise, and without serious dis comforture or mishap, we crossed the bil lowy masses and reached the base of the final cone. To my eyes it seemed a vast precipice, interminable in height, absolutely insur mountable. And here the real "struggle began. 1 never had a more thorough admi ration for physical agility than the thin lit tle Sicilian now compelled. It seemed that the wiry fellow had wings for unseen use. Uncoiling a slender leash, woven of hair and much resembling a lariat, and leaving me in possession of one end below, he would ap pear to leap from point to point in the dark ness above, until the line was taut, when, with endless repetition ot soothing and reas suring "Agevolmente!" "gentilmente!" ("easily! gently!") he would half draw me to his own sale station of ascent. Now and then we would find a few yards of almost level space. Again, the course would wind about and between jagged, curling fringes of lava, set there like convolutions of wave crests whirled upon end and instantly con gealed. But every where were cinders, grit, ice, snow, needle-pointed spears of lava, powdered 'sulphur, ashes, pitfalls, and worse than all, the danger ot dislodging the rock ing masses above us. On several occasions we had barely passed, and pushed our weight from treacherous scales of mingled snow and scoria;, when they cracked away and went crumbling behind, frequently dislodging other crusts and pro jections, when a combined crash and thun dering into the darkness would follow. At these times my own bravery would forsake me, I am afraid, and I would beg Balbino for indulgio and rest. With the utmost suavity the little old roll of bones always acceded; and, far above me, while my knees beat the cinders from my trousers, and my chattering teeth rattled like castinets, chirp as a canary in the groves behind Catania, this human mountain elve would rumina tively hum a merry Sicilian canzione, now and again letting a few lively, though re spectfully modulated, bars escape through his not wholly unmusical nose. ON THE VERGE OP THE CRATER. Perhaps an hour and a half was con sumed in this manner of climbing, when, on being pulled up a particularly precipitous and ugly slope I stood on my feet beside Balbino, and, even before he had senten tiously uttered the one word "Trionfol" I saw the stars beyond a jagged mass of black, and was conscious that we were at last at the very crater's edge. After groping about with the greatest caution for a little, Bal bino found an angle in the lava which offered fairly good shelter. We crept into this, huddled closely together, and, watch ing the torches which still flickered far be low in the Bosco, or wooded region, wafted for the dawn. It was an eerie Bpot to rest It seemed darker than when we left Casa degli Englesi, nearly two hours before. In numerable times in my life I had read, heard or thought the old saying about the darkest hour being just before the dawn. However familiar one maybe with centuries old material or ethical truisms, there is one time in each individual's life when indi vidual facts sweep into and possess the re motest territories of realization. In that way this familiar truism came to me for the first time, and for all time, at the edge of Etna's crater. The atmosphere was perfectly clear, rare PITTSBURG, SATTODAT, APRIL 19, 1890. and crisp. The stars were apparently all visible; but a film seemed to gradually over come their former quality of pulsing glow ing, then to remove their peculiar globular, dew-drop like form and tremulousness, and finally to almost erase them from the firma ment Balbino's practiced eye compre hended all this in a material Bense, and he said we had now but a little time to wait Bat that little time seemed very long. For tunately no wind was blowing, but it was bitterly cold; and the cold seemed to come in waves each more intense than the preced ing one. Intermittent with these were ap parent pulsations of warm air bearing an odor as of asafetida. These were the exhala tions of Etna. Though we were now within a few feet of 11,000 feet above the sea level, I did not experience that difficulty in breath ing which many travelers lay great stress upon, although an actual condition of weak ness and weariness was continually con tended against A STRANGE IMPULSE. The most marked, blended physical and mental experience in these extreme altitudes is, I think, an almost uncontrollable impulse to step off and down to the greatest depths below, coupled with a dim sort of fancy that one is ready-winged for such descent; and even steady-headed Balbino had, or pre tended to have, any number of authentic reminiscences where unfortunate persons, unable to control similar fatal impulses, had been dashed to pieces upon the lava rocks below. But even while he was relating these, the density ot the darkness had given way. Through the murky gray the horizon line of the Ionian sea and the sky could be faintly traced. We left our little shelter, and fonnd solid footing in the crust of the crater's edge where we could cling tightlv to the flinty lobes, angles and ridges, which some former action of the boiling lava had provided. Hardly was this done before the stars were swept from sight, and the entire sky had changed to a dark opaline hue. Then, as the first faint shimmerings of red quivered above the sea, as if to sweep the last vestige of night from the earth's face, came such a blast of piercing wind as hurled showers of lava-grit whistling hefore it tore great crusts of ice and lava from their places, and caused us to cling to each other and the serrated cone-edge for our very lives. It passed as quickly as it came, roaring across the Bosco toward Palermo. When we looked again the eastern sky was aflame; the Ionian sea, dimpled and rippled by the softer breezes ot lesser altitude, a mass of tremulous purple, and the crests of the Calabrian mountains of lower Italy seemed emitting a sinuous stream of liquid fire. "Vivo ! acuto I" almost yelled Balbino, as he lifted me bodily from my feet and whirled me squarely about so that I faced the west "This is the momento eminentis simo 1" A MAJESTIC SPECTACLE. And so it was "the supreme moment." As I was whirled about, the last glimpse was of the first glories of the grandest sun rise human eyes can behold. The next in2 stant my eyes rested upon equally as grand a scene, a curious and almost sublime effect in light and shade; probably one nowhere else visible upon the globe, owing to the non-existence elsewhere of like combined conditions or altitude, contour and almost limitless expanse of panoramic background. To make this clear to the reader, it must be remembered that Etna, standing near the center of the eastern shore of the island of Sicily, rises from a base, fully 50 miles in diameter, gradually and almost un hrokenly to the tremendous altitude in its crater of practically 11,000 feet. The first rays of the rising sun strike horizontally athwart this, but all is darkness beyond. Half way across Sicily is thrown a shadow worth a year's travel "to see. Tender mists of grav and pearl and blue in countless val leys blend with this mighty sabte wing, transforming it to a purple as exquisite as the untouched film "of the grape. 'To its almost measureless point, its edges are as clearly defined as those of a velvet fabric stretched upon a bed of green, and no ar tist's brush will ever reveal such liquid streams of rose fading to flushing green, as, leaping and flashing along its lines, startle and amaze as though one had been granted a vision of light for an instant possessing the essence of life itself! From this brief and entrancing spectacle, one involuntarily turns to the contempla tion of the majestic cyclorama spread out to view. Where else can such a mighty reach of vision be found? There is nothing to in tercept the sight. Three seas, the Italian, Ionian and the African, blend with the hor izon, .save where, on the west, more than 100 miles away, stand the heights behind Paler mo, and where, to the northwest, rise the Apulian Mountains in the narrow strip forming Southern Italy. With your glass you can see across the Isles of Lapart to the eternal fires of Stromboli, the ancients' en trance to purgatory; while, over 125 miles to the south, are discerned the outlines of Malta, where Calypso enslaved Odysseus, St Paul was shipwrecked, and the British Empire, behind the MOST TREMENDOUS RAMPARTS of our time, dominates the Mediterranean and holds the golden key to all the Orient. Nearer, the glistening roofs of more than 100 cities and villages shimmer in the morn ing sunlight, among the greatest of which are Aci Eeall, Giarre, Messina, Randazzo, Bronte. Aderno, iraterno, and classic Ca tania and Syracuse. Nearer still, the vast rim ot flowers, olive groves and vineyards. Above this, the lesser but still stupendous circle of green, where stand the massive oak, chestnut and ilex trees. Then, desola tion, complete, horrid, hateful, unspeak able. From one's feet, clearly traced to the farthest base-edge, lead great furrows of purple black, where the livid rivers ran, in terspersed with lesser volcanoes but specks from where we stand and awful gulfs miles in width, hundreds of feet in depth, and so indescribably blasted, cursed and lifeless that even Silence crouches shudderingly in their formless and hideous depths. This, the faintest hint of what one sees. No one can come with the power to reveal even this beggarly proportion of what is felt But here is the crater, and its ragged rim. It is sullen, inactive now. Hundreds of fantastic, craggy, jagged masses stand upon its smoother lower crust, reaching sprawl ingly in every direction great lava claws. Everywhere describing the most curious angles and curves, run slender seams with lips of green and yellow, where the sul phuric breath has left its stain and poison. Shimmering waves of air, with now and then a ghostly thread of steam, rise from these seams. These w.ith a ceaseless, tremulous vibration which would not take long to effect genuine sea-sickness, are all that tell of the infernal powers beneath. Balbino, shrugging his shoul ders, and remarking, "It is shamming, like a bad woman!" descended into the pit, ran about upon the crust, broke off relics to take away, and punched the seams savagely with his pike to illustrate his bravery and contempt Then, one last look at so vast and yet so little a portion of our good old earth; the descent and meeting of the belated travelers, who glared at us for our own better luck; -another meal at the wretched Casa, where it seemed we had been long years before; and then a light some step out and down into the world of sunshine, verdure and song; while, far and ne&r, waking a myriad echoes in wooded gorge and glen, there came to us, mingled with tuneful songs of rivulets and birds, the clear and mellow notes of shepherds' pipes, as, witli matin melodies, their flocks were led up lower Etna's verdant sides. Edgar L. Wakeman. A GENERAL DENIAL. Tho Answer of Mayor Wyman to His Con testant, Mr. btayton. An effort was made yesterday to get Messrs.

The Nation's Greatness Asserting Itself on the Northern Pacific Slope. WONDERFUL GROWTH OP CITIES THERE (CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DISFATCH.2 Portland, Ore., April 11. It is an old saying that "cities are notmade, they grow." The truth of this remark is certainly proved by the history of each great city of theworld, for cities are but centers of trade and arise simply as the supply of a demand. Like all growing thingB, cities are subject to inflex ible natural laws, which can no more be af fected by the inclination and perversity of man than can the mighty river be turned from its course to suit his caprices. Man may retard or advance the growth and suc cess of a town, but only temporarily. It is beyond his strength to permanently affect it. The location calls for the town, and man, equal to the emergency, builds it The towns of the Northwest are so strik ingly different in characteristics that the eccentricity of one city is no indicator of the peculiarities of another. Here are towns 20 years old others scarcely six months; but already progressive and flourishing. Visit the West one year, and some spot, a barren tract of land, you will find, if you come 12 months later, is covered with pretty, per haps costly houses and handsome public buildings; while here and there a spire points like an index finger heavenward in silent witness of the flight of time, and in testimony of Western progress. Ay, rub your eyes, my friend, and question the soundness of your wits. Facts do not lie. Here is a whole town built while you were napping no mirage. All through Wash ington and Oregon these pretty little towns springing up from day to day, like buds iu the spring time. While mgck interest cen ters in these little towns, some day to be cities, yet the larger towns demand the con siderate attention of the thoughtful traveler and financier. Chief among these latter, stands Portland the metropolis of the Pacific Northwest. AN IMPOSING CITY. The city is -situated on the Willamette river, near its confluence with the Colum bia. Seen from an eminence in its vicifity, back of the town, the entire view is most imposing. Portland, as the name testines, is a seaport, admitting deep sea vessels of all sizes and classes and at all seasons. Since the first settlement of the conntry the place has been, as now, the principal port of im port and export, the trade and manufactur ing center of the whole Pacific Northwest When first I looked upon Portland from the brow of this hill, it seemed as though nature had never before so beautifully blended her own handiwork with that of man. The river, like a tinted ribbon, stretched its sinuous course, embraved with many a querl, dimpled with, many a holm. Like fleets of water lilies nestled the snowy ships upon the pellucid mirror. Here and there from some projecting haze the trees cast a reflected and nemorous shade, which seemed to fairly intensify the beauty and distinctness of their leafage. One wonld almost fancy for the moment that he had wandered into a region of perpetual sum mer, untouched by the breath of hyems, that is, until he paused to look upon the city at his feet. Portland forbids any revellingof fancy it is too sternly prosaic too much of a money-getting, bread-winning mart "The dollar of our daddies" is the vital question considered here. Sentiment takes a seat in the hindermost row. Practically gives poetry an Icarian tumble. It is rather of the vast mass of surging, struggling human ity in this city of 100,000 that we must think than of the beauty of wave and sky, the loveliness that dwells in the turn of a leaf and the closing of a flower. A LUSTY AMERICAN INFANT. Though as the years of a city and human life are numbered, Portland is still in its infancy, it has attained a position as regards wealth and the resources of trade, which in proportion to its numbers is unrivaled throughout the length and breadth of our Union. The people of Portland are fond of claiming that their city contains more millionaires, in proportion to popnlation, than any other city in the world. More than three score millionaires either reside or have their business headquarters here. The city has also the finest public buildings, with the exception of those to be found in San Fran cisco, taken as a class, for a city of its size, of any town on the two hemispheres. The wealth of the city is doubtless due chiefly to its location. Its seaport advantages, its trade, manufacturing and transportation fa cilities are unequaled. These advantages, dependent upon natural resources, are of course stable and vnot apt to vacillate, so that the chances for the city's growth are al most unlimited. In the days of Oregon's early history, when the State was dotted by no town or city, and not even the semblance of a village marked the site where Portland now stauds, the owners of a trading vessel, who bad a cargo of geueral merchandise to sell, in seek ing a point where tneir wares might best be disposed of, to the scattered settlers along the" Pacific coast, brought their vessel into the Columbia river, entering the stream as far as navigation would permit. When the vessel refused to go further, they landed and built a small store on the edge of the river, where their cargo was sold. The fol lowing year they brought larger stores and were speedily followed by other vessels. Little by little a vast enterprise was here built up. This trading point became the nucleus of the city of Portland. On the site of this first small store, to-day stands the Abbington Block, one of the handsomest public rows of buildings in the entire city. COULD NOT BE STRANGLED. Portland has had many rivals but she has pushed them all to the wall. Upon the neck of many struggling and ambitious towns she has put her imperial foot, and held them subject to her will. Claiming her divine right by precedence, she rules as she was born to do. Previous to the build ing of railroads, the owners of a line of Bteamers plying between San Francisco and Portland, with the true spirit of a merciless monopoly, seeing that their line gave Port land her only means of communication with the outside world, laid out a new town and refused to run their steamers into Portland. In this new town large wharves and vast warehouses were built, and many predicted Portland's prospects as laid on the shelf. But the strange tide which determines the affairs of a town, did not set in toward the newly laid-out city. People left only to return to Portland. At length weary of contending with a fate that seemed de termined to "down" them, ths owners of the steamship liue returned to the wharves at Portland, and since that time the city has continued to grow with varying but un interrupted prosperity. In the summer of 1883 the first railroad to enter Portland was completed the North ern Pacific which gave the city access, by rail, to all parts of the United States. It now has three transcontinental lines, each owned by separate parties and each entering the citv over an independent road, owned - r controlled by the company. jrurkiauu uiusb liuv uu uvcnuuticu as a mining center. Gold", silver, iron, lead and coal are lound in great abundance. An im portant enterprise last year, was the starting up of the great Oregon Iron and Steel Com pany with an annual income, as predicted, of over 500,000. These works are now being enlarged by the addition of nail and rolling mills. THE GREAT ADVANTAGE. Eat" probably the greatest advantage to the city is the cheapness and the abundance of its water power. AH its advantages arc decidedly overshadowed by the one gigantie power afforded by the Willametta river. About a dozen miles from Portland this grand river navigable by the larges sea vessels known up to Portland, and naviga ble 100 miles further for large river steamers gives one high perpendicular leap over a clean-cut rock nearly SO feet in height. This is claimed to be the most enormous water power that is utilized in this country, and the only power never known to freeze. Here may be seen the OregonPottery Works and the Linseed and Cordage Works. But it is as an educational and social center that Portland offers more particular attrac tions. The growing youth of the city are given a careful literary nurture. The pub lic schools can hold their own with those of New York City. The High School building is especially fine built of Western marble with terra-cotta copings, and adorned by elegantly kept grounds, and withal posses sing a most capable corps of 20 teachers. If one wishes to know its cost, let him count a dollar lor every inhabitant of the city. There are 14 public school buildings, all supplied with modern furnishings, one of the buildings covering an entire block. There is a Ladies' seminary costing not less than $150,000. Here, as in nearly every Western city, education keeps pace with traffic. THE HUB OP THE NORTHWEST. The city has no peer in the whole North west bevond the Rockies in point ot cul ture. One can get a very fair idea of the extent and stamina of the trade organiza tion of Portland from the number of busi ness houses and the capital employed. More than 125 houses employ each a capital of considerably more than $225,000. The aggregate capital is close up to $100,000,000. The bank capital is of a magnitude corre sponding in proportion to the trade. The city has nearly 20 banks, several of which have a capital of $3,000,000 or over. The commerce of Portland is fully as active as might be expected from the employment of this vast capital. The private residences of the city are not one whit behind the pnblic buildings as re gard outward and interior splendor and finish. There are numerous residences cost ing fully $500,000. I might mention those of Mr. Flanders and the Hon. John Dolph, also those of Messrs. Knapp, White and De Lashmut. All these gentlemen are several times millionaires, as are Messrs. Beed, Ladd, Corbett and Failing, whose homes are something worth visiting, if not socially at least with au eye to the beautiful, the costly and the artistic East Portland has also many charming residences and is a pic turesque town. The buildings and public schools here are decidedly less pretentious than those in the handsome city just across the water. East Portland is growing rapidly as well. A costly steel and iron bridge spans the river between the two cities, and renders transportation from one to the other easy and walking not an impossibility, but a delightful feat. Portland, as I have before said, is unsur passed as to location. From the very heart of the town can be seen the towering peaks of the Cascade, with Hood, Adams, St. Helens and Bainier, all in plain sight The city lies in a sort of valley, undulating hills rising above it on either side. Far off to the north the course of the Columbia may be followed by the eye many miles. The undulating hills give the city its beautiful suburban building lots. The climate of Portland is something indescribable, calm, lenitive, and I assure you, altogether de lightful. Let one who feels that he has lain perdue to all agreeable sensations come to Portland. He will find himself woke up in double quick time. Perhaps, too, he will find himself nearer to the throbbing heart of the great world in these busy haunts of men than in the serener haunts of nature. . - H. M. Spalding. OFFICIAL PITTSBURG.
